The Republic of Austria is a small country, with only about 8.7 million inhabitants, situated in the middle of Europe. The flag of Austria has three equal horizontal bands of red, white and red. The Flag of Georgia (USA) is very similar.

There are no details of the barrel other than it’s from Rainier Arms. Some carbon fiber seems to be involved, judging from the pictures.

Note the barrel below. Surely looks like carbon fiber.

Below: Push safety by Elftmann Tactical. The trigger is made by them too, and you should try one if you get the chance.

The sight is a Trijicon SRS (Sealed Reflex Sight) with an illuminated 1.75 MOA red dot. It’s powered by a solar cell and assisted by a single AA battery. I don’t see this sight on rifles too often, so I wonder how successful it’s been?

Solar panels and carbon fiber on a rifle? Who could have imagined 10-20 years ago?

Looks to me just like a regular red, white paint job….If the Austrian flag is red, white, red then where is the third horizontal band?

The information is from Rainier Arms. They made the rifles so I can only rely on their source.

They suck with flags and should be ashamed of themselves.

It is the flag of POLAND. Red and White.
Österreich is Red-White-Red.

The Polish flag reversed is that of Monaco – red on white.

I want an Imperial German one please.

If only the folks in those represented countries could get a hold of these rifles easier.

Too bad this rifle will never be approved here in Austria and we are stuck with Hera, Oberland and Schmeisser AR15. Those and of course Steyr AUG Z and Sig 550 Austria.

Is the French one drop safe?

That’s not Austria.

Austria is red-white-red.

That thingy there is only red-white.

more like an Indonesian flag

Yeah, Austria is supposed to be Rot-Weiss-Rot. This is just Rot-Weiss. Poland, maybe, but a piss-poor example of Austria.

The flag you show was created after WWII; the claws hold the sickle and hammer with the broken chain that represents the break from Nazi Germany. The flag with the eagle with empty claws was prior to WWII, and the Red-White-Red is the newer. From what I could find. There were a few countries prior to WWII that had the eagle incorporated into the designs. Personally, think they were cool, and yes I’m Austrian.
